Description: Photograph of Dutton and Forde. From en: wiki: "In 1901, Robert Forde was working at the hospital in Bathurst, Gambia, when he made the first definitive observation of trypanosomes in a human being when he unknowingly found them in the blood of H. Kelly, a 42-year-old steamboat master on the Gambia River who had originally been thought to be suffering from malaria.[8][9] Kelly had been working on the river for six years and had been ill with malaria on several occasions. Forde thought the "small worm-like, extremely active bodies" were filiarae (a type of parasitic nematode). Soon after, they were identified as trypanosomes by Joseph Everett Dutton who wrote that it was "impossible to decide definitely as to the species, but if on further study it should be found to differ from the other disease producing trypanosomes I would suggest that it be called Trypanosoma gambiensé" (now T. b. gambiense)."
